“Anonymous” examines the idea that, perhaps, William Shakespeare may not have been the genius playwright we all have believed him to be.
Under Roland Emmerich’s skillful direction, the idea that Shakespeare was actually a front for the Earl of Oxford, is wonderfully brought to light.
The film is enriched with powerful performances by Rhys Ifans and Vanessa Redgrave and beautifully paced.
I am aware some may not want to see it because it might seem “heavy,” but please give it a try. I really think the rewards are worth your time
“Anonymous” gets an A and is rated PG-13
